Question
hello sir. may i know what happens if i ride a horse that is wearing a broken shoe either on foreleg or hind leg?

Answer
HELLO ROHIT...
There is definite movement within the hoof capsule !!
The horse would be better barefoot, than that happening. Similar to a broken tree
in a saddle, only NOT as bad.

Wall damage would occur if not taken off or changed !!

Best to You!!
